Chapter 102

Gin, this is such a cooperative approach.

As Kono Seiryoshi thought about it, his worries grew even more serious. He was so impatient when the knife was mentioned, wouldn't the subsequent negotiations be even more difficult?

He didn't want his home to become the first crime scene, so he carefully chose his words to politely refuse: "I'll go meet you at the base, you decide the time."

The sound of a car door closing rang out from the receiver. Gin said in a low voice, "What tricks are you trying to play?"

Gongye Shengliang said nothing, took a photo of the traitor's information and sent it to him, and deleted the local browsing history.

"After all, this person has done things for me before. The embezzled funds have something to do with me. I want to handle it myself. Is that not okay?"

Gin sneered disdainfully: "You came to handle it, and you dealt with two traitors at the same time?"

At one o'clock!

Tinted glasses, definitely tinted glasses.

Kono Seiryoshi complained in his heart, but took the initiative to give in: "If you are worried, you can watch it yourself."

Without waiting for Gin to make any more sarcastic remarks, he spoke first: "Let's do it tomorrow night. I'll wait for you at the base." There was a slight smile in his voice, as if the next date was something worth looking forward to.

After a moment's silence, Gin ended with a cold snort.

After hanging up the phone, Kono Seiryoshi fell into deep thought as he listened to the busy tone - Gin agreed so readily, wasn't he afraid that it was from the Hongmen Banquet?

Is this the confidence of a business champion?

But think about it, the nominal leader of Tokyo Base is Rum, but Rum is too secretive and cautious. Whenever he enters or leaves the base, he either disguises himself or uses a substitute. Rather than being the second-in-command, he is more like an abstract and terrifying symbol under the boss.

Compared to Rum, whose true appearance is almost never seen, Gin, who walks in the open and has the power of life and death, is more like the actual manager.

The roots of the holy wine are abroad. After flying to Japan, I was unfamiliar with the place and chose to meet Gin at the base, which was more like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Although what Morobushi Kagemitsu mentioned, "Gin seemed to have discovered something from the traitor," is of concern, but judging from the conversation just now, Gin's murderous intent does not seem to be strong, at least not as strong as the first time they met.

Kono Seiryoshi couldn't think of anything else that could pose a threat to him. The mission progress had plummeted to 30%, so he no longer had anything to fear.

Therefore, even if Gin really pointed a gun at him, he would be able to finish his tea without changing his expression or heart beating.

Once you learn to break the jar, the world will suddenly open up.jpg

The next day's schedule was very busy, so he went to the research institute first during the day.

As if they had long been accustomed to the organization's superstitious atmosphere, the researchers were of very high overall quality and did not show any dissatisfaction with the testing of a wooden mask. They only told him sternly that there was nothing abnormal in either the chemical experiments or the radioactive element tests.

It was indeed a very ordinary cypress, and the idea of ​​a vengeful spirit was probably just nonsense. That was the conclusion.

Kono Seira smiled and put the mask back into the box it came in.

Regardless of whether there was supernormal energy in the beginning, now only an empty carrier remains, and that is enough.

Before leaving, he transferred all the research reports on Stone Mask organized so far into a new encryption chip.

While waiting for the data to be transmitted, he initiated a video conference with the North American base.

Despite the time difference, the base agent still connected the link on time. The man on the other side of the screen had deep eyes and a high nose, and was polite. Although they did not look alike, the enthusiasm hidden in the other's eyes reminded Gong Ye Shengliang of Freya, the female doctor in the nursing home.

...I see, they are all people who have undergone brain wave stimulation experiments.

Kono Seiryoshi came to his senses and ordered the man to transfer the research results there to the chip. Faced with a decision that might make all the previous efforts go to waste, the man did not object and obeyed the order obediently, but apologized and said that this work would take a few days.

Then they discussed some other matters. By the time the meeting was over, it was dark outside and the data had been transmitted.

Before destroying the chip, Gongye Shengliang uploaded a copy to the system database.

"Their work has been done. Leave the rest to me."

It takes decades for data to accumulate, but only minutes to destroy it; it doesn't take long for a chip to become an empty shell.

Gongye Shengliang was about to leave the room when he suddenly stopped.

The mission progress that stopped at [30%] changed again, and this time it did not drop.

"A 10% increase?"

He was incredulous and checked it again. No bug was reported. "I destroyed the data of Stone Mask, but the result went up?"

The light ball was relieved and excitedly turned pink: [Because it is something that does not belong to this world, it returned to its original trajectory after being eliminated. Great, Contractor, the world is saved!]

There is hope, but not much. After all, there is only one Stoneface, so how can he fill the remaining 50%, not to mention whether he can keep the 40% is still a question.

However, Gongye Shengliang did not say it. He nodded in accordance with the system's words and said "hmm" with a smile.

——I am even more embarrassed to talk about my next plan.

He arrived at the base half an hour earlier than scheduled, but someone else got there earlier than him.

Vodka, who was guarding the door, was stunned when he saw him, as if he had seen a ghost. His sunglasses almost fell off.

Gongye Shengliang looked at him calmly, not surprised at all: "Make a pot of black tea, hot to 80%, thank you."

“Ah? …Oh, oh.”

Vodka subconsciously walked towards the tea room, but after walking three meters he suddenly came to his senses.

That's not right! He wants to share the same hatred with his elder brother, how can he just listen to the words of the holy wine!

Vodka suddenly felt confident and turned around with great momentum, only to meet the other person's gaze.

Shengjiu hadn't entered yet, his fingertips resting on the door handle, and when he saw him coming back, he looked puzzled: "Don't you know the way to the pantry?"

Vodka's arrogance was immediately extinguished. He laughed awkwardly and said dryly, "Well, I want to ask, is only tea bags okay?"

Shengjiu nodded and didn't look at him again.

It wasn't until the door closed before his eyes that Vodka recovered from the shock.

This was the second time he had close contact with Gin after following him for so long.

After taking off the abnormal gas mask, he didn't expect that Holy Wine would look like that. Uh, it looked like Big Brother could crush him to death with just two fingers.

That's not right. Why did Shengjiu suddenly show up? Isn't he a kosher freak?

Vodka, who usually follows Gin around without even thinking, suddenly has an idea - Oh no, Gin isn't going to use that face to soften his brother, is he?!

With the experience of Bermode, he firmly believed in the famous saying "the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie", and the same goes for men.

The more Vodka thought about it, the more frightened he became. The image of "poor elder brother being played around by him" popped up in his mind and frightened him so much that he shuddered all over and went to make tea in grief and helplessness.

Kono Seiryoshi, who was unaware that his image had been demonized, was in a good mood. As soon as he entered the door, Gin threw something that looked like a book at him, and the enthusiastic greeting gift almost hit him on the head.

Wait, you can't just aim carefully before throwing it, right?

"The rat that escaped from you didn't have your problems, but unfortunately, its hands and feet were not clean."

Gin's sarcastic voice was cold and chilling, dispelling the only remaining warmth in the room.

The moment he saw the cover of the book, Gongye Shengliang's thoughts were suddenly shaken.

He managed to calm down, not missing the deep meaning behind Gin's words, and slowly frowned: "Is this the life-saving talisman that Saeki gave you?"

——A photo album with pitifully little content compared to its capacity.

It records the important moments in Gong Ye Ru's life from childhood to adulthood, including his adoption, his entrance ceremony, his graduation ceremony, and finally a photo with the sunrise on the top of the mountain.

Kono Seiryoshi was extremely grateful that the photos they took on the top of the mountain were just silhouettes, otherwise not only would he be in danger, but Jingguang and Zero would also be exposed.

He didn't want to see the desperate situation that the exposed undercover agent would face again.

"It's just a pile of waste paper."

Gin raised his eyebrows, his cold eyes filled with hostility: "Open it and take a look."

Kono Seira's fingers were so cold that he almost didn't feel anything, so he followed Gin's instructions and opened the photo album.

Of course he had seen it before, when he was still in police school. In the photo, except for himself, everything else was either out of focus or deliberately blurred. When there was finally a clear photo, the background was blank.

He doesn't own a camera and rarely takes photos, so this is the state of the photos when they were handed to him.

But this time when he opened it, Kono Seiryoshi saw something that shouldn't be there.

There is a shadow in the upper left corner of each photo. If you look closely, you can see that the shape of the shadow is like a crow with its claws extended.

There was no such mark before. Who moved the photo album?

Seira Kono quickly rejected Saeki and Gin, saying that the former had no ability and the latter had no reason.

Thinking quickly, he figured out the contradiction behind the farce.

Saeki knew the face of the target of the mission, but he didn't know the true appearance of Shengjiu. He handed the photo album to Gin, and naturally assumed that Gin would investigate the people in the photos.

But Gin's perception is exactly the opposite of his. He had seen the face of Saint Wine before and recognized that the person in the photo album was actually Saint Wine, so he ridiculed him as "a pile of waste paper."

The point is not the content, but the extra part.

…

Gin stood up from the sofa without knowing when.

The silver-haired man was almost a head taller than him. As he walked towards him slowly, his tall and slender dark figure gradually enveloped him.

Gin took the photo album from his hand, his eyes dark, and warned: "It doesn't matter who you want to kill, but since you have done it, you should do it thoroughly. I don't have time to clean up your mess."

Kono Seira seemed to have not heard anything and just stared at the album. Gin not only took the album away but also blocked the light. He had no choice but to raise his head and squint slightly to see the small words on the cover.

Ka-ra-su-ma

Karasuma

Seeing that he was still stunned and didn't respond, Gin frowned and threw the photo album to the ground.

Looking from above, the white-haired young man lowered his eyes submissively, and his neck was so thin that it would break if bent.

That was exactly the look he hated the most.

Gin cursed irritably in his heart and wanted to pull away and leave.

However, just before he exerted his strength, Shengjiu suddenly raised his eyes, reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

The false gentleness disappeared without a trace, and ripples like the tide appeared in her deep red eyes, and she curled her lips towards him.

"To thank you, Gin, I'm going to tell you a secret."
